U.S. Rep. Jeff Duncan finished his first year in Congress without becoming what some describe as “Washingtonized.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better delegation to serve with...We proved the pundits wrong who said we were going to become Washingtonized. We were steadfast and resolved to deal with issues of Washington.” Overall, Duncan said the issues he brings up in Congress are a result of what his constituents want to address.
